Although fresco paintings have been found in Ancient Egyptian\u00a0structures, it reached its peak\u00a0during the 14th to 17th centuries during the Italian Renaissance. The Sistine Chapel Ceiling, painted by Michelangelo, and The Last Supper, painted by Leonardo da Vinci, are excellent explains of the technique and durability of this method of painting. There are two types of fresco painting. First, buon fresco, which means \u201cgood fresco\u201d, is achieved by painting on wet plaster. This technique is harder to paint on, but more durable because the paint seeps farther into the plaster. The second method, fresco secco, which means \u201cdry fresco\u201d, is easier to paint, but over time the paints can flake off.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
